Living in the jungle

Gucci, s/s 2010The warmth of the ethnic prints is mixed with the usual Gucci's coolness

Snakeskin, african prints, bright colors, gladiator-heels and much more: ethnic is one of the favorites styles of the s/s 2010 designers' collections. The right styling is to show the coolness of the style and mix it with more chic, elegant and stricter pieces. Also, mixing the various origins is more than welcome, so feel free to match, say, a Japanese kimono with African sandals (that would totally rock with a pair of good jeans and a basic t-shirt for example!).

Diane von Fürstenberg, s/s 2010

Giambattista Valli, s/s 2010The motto of the two designers seems to be "chic meets ethnic"
